Q & A's
When does voting happen? Voting is a bracket styled competition similar to basketball's March Madness. Voting starts is March and will be announced.
How do I vote? By clicking the link above, entering your email, and then you get to vote on each bracket (vote for all brackets, not just one dog).
How many times can I vote? Rounds last 2 days at a time, except the finally will be 3 days. You can vote, free, once per day, per person!
Why do I have to enter in my email? Your email is how we know you already placed a vote. This does not sign you up for anything or any account.
When do I receive my goodie bag and metal ornament gift? Everyone who signs up has 3 meet ups with Shelby. A consultation, portrait date, and an image reveal appointment. Your gifts will be given to you at the image reveal appointment! These are one on one appointments that you will schedule with Shelby.
Don't forget to share with all of your friends so they can vote too (or enter their own pups)!
